ARAW NG DABAW – March 16 2015 declared a holiday in Davao City

Davao City will be having its 79th foundation anniversary this coming March 16, Monday. The day is a special non-working holiday throughout the city according to Republic Act (RA) 7551. This holiday effectively gives those working and studying in Davao City a three-day weekend.

Enacted in 1992 during the term of then-President Corazon Aquino, RA 7551 states that officials of Davao City “shall lead appropriate and meaningful celebrations and activities participated in by officials and employees of the national government agencies or instrumentalities, civic, religious and non-government organizations, and private companies” which are based there. RA 7551 can be read in full in this link.
